Joint strikes in Syria with France and the U.K.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump announced on Friday he ordered strikes on the Syrian regime's chemical weapons facilities in coordination with France and the United Kingdom in response to a chemical weapons attack last weekend.

"I ordered the United States armed forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapon capabilities of Syrian dictator of Bashar al-Assad," Trump said from the White House Diplomatic Reception Room.

Witnesses told CNN that they heard explosions in the capital city of Damascus and that they began while Trump was making his address.
US aircraft -- including B-1 bombers -- and ships were used in the attack, according to multiple US defense officials.

Wag the orange clown.

You really think France and England are wagging the dog for Trump?



Even CNN commentators are supporting Trump. Must make you wonder how stupid you are.

There was no ' chemical weapons program to attack '.

Chemical weapons inspectors begin their analysis of the alleged incident today. Cart before horse ? Yes- the UK leadership could not risk a parliamentary vote. It has pissed upon its own democracy.

Russia has called for an emergency Security Council meeting as the US, UK and France have clearly parted company with their UN Charter obligations. We are criminals, folks- just like the ' Israelis '- and that's what all this is about.

Russian TV shows their defence department analysis of the strike. It was limited, aimed at defunct facilities . There were, apparently, few or no casualties. No Russians or Iranians were harmed.
Syria's ageing missile defense system brought down many of the 100+ missiles used against it. The Russians gave an exact tally of launches and successful defenses. The Brits launched Tornadoes from their Cypriot base and did not enter Syrian airspace. According to the Russians no French forces were used at all.

Russia will now equip Syria with its advanced defense system- and also its other allies in the region and elsewhere.

With the inspectors starting work today we look very stupid. The level of British stupidity can be gauged from this statement;

Another potential risk was that hitting any chemical weapons could result in spreading the poison. But British chemical weapons experts said the risk was minimal and that any chemical weapons would be blown up rather than dispersed.

Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a chemical weapons expert who led the UK and Nato chemical weapons response teams, said:“The best way to destroy chemical weapons is to blow them up.”

Blow them up. Got it ? That's ' up' as in 'up '.


It seems that the Russians will not escalate this matter unless there are any more strikes. No real damage has been done. You'd better cross your fingers and pray that Trump leaves it at that. Clinton wouldn't.

Do we have an end game strategy?

Can we start to add the word ' illegally ' to these reports of US/France?UK attacking Syria.

We're all rogue states now insofar as international law is concerned. We might as well fly our respective Jolly Roger's with ...er...pride.

Assad was fully convinced that he could literally get away with murder because the Russians had his back.

Oooh my- you really don't like your safe little Brit womb-boat rocked, do you maggot.

Too bad. You're a prosemitic bigot with contempt for justice and the rule of law.

Assad's wife bought another $350,000 worth of furniture in the second year of the war... while children were being gassed..

Imagine what the six million Syrian refugees think of that.

If Trump had any guts he'd blow up their billion dollar palace in Damascus.

why? because you hate Assad?
Americans don't care about Syria other then some noble idea of tit for tat on the chem weapons.
I'm the LAST one to approve any interventionism,and going after Assad other then a proportional strike is sheer madness.
And if he did there would be rightful screams of "interventionism"

I hope he wins. because he can FINISH IT OFF when other CAN'T..then we can get to yet another Iranian "colony"
and another virulent insurgency..which at least is better then ALL OUT WAR

His wife is even more odious than him, she'd give Eva Braun or Grace Mugabe a run for their money, in terms of pure vileness. She is dubbed the 'First Lady of Hell' for good reason by Syrians.

I fear it won't be the end of it though. The Iranians are seemingly intent on creating a Shia corridor and the Saudis may well have something to say about that.
